Carmack recently reduced his involvement with Facebook/Oculus from fulltime down to consulting. He's currently focusing on what he describes as "independent AI research" and what I call "mad science that will inevitably bring about the events depicted in the Terminator franchise".

They want to make the graph go up and right. Minecraft is still on other consoles.

they are not putting out a console like the series x that is loss leading so hard on its hardware cost, with a second hardware model as well, to not sell consoles. if they dont make the bigger titles like elder scrolls and fallout xbox console exclusive theyre the stupidest company on the planet. the xbox division graph is nowhere close to going up and right and buying a gigantic AAA company and then not using that to sell your new hardware will not help that. if just putting out games on other consoles was their plan to make money they wouldnt be making new hardware and all the xbox first party titles like halo and forza would be lining up playstation releases. even gamepass is specifically to push hardware sales by making a value argument for the xbox platform over playstation.

But remember that Sony is releasing games on PC now, and will be releasing at least one game on Switch and Xbox. It's not clear-cut and it can be worth it depending on the situation.

MLB The Show is also going multiplatform. And that's why I mentioned it being a consideration based on the situation. Situations are different for different products and deals.

I'm really struggling to discern what you're objecting to with what I'm saying. Situationally, even Sony is open to multiplatform development. And they agree to do so because they decided there's more money to do it versus not doing it in those situations.

MLB was the party that pushed for it, yes. But Sony had to agree to do it. Maybe they would have lost the license or had to pay the MLB more money if they didn't, who knows. But that's why I keep saying that it's situational.

mlb had failed to get other platform holders to make successful franchises from the license and put a stipulation in sonys renewal that their games go multiplatform. so yes in the situation where a license holder for a sports game they develop tell them to do it they will make a multiplatform game. this is an extraordinarily strange situation that has never come up before and theres nothing else they make that would potentially be in this situation again, mlb is the only sports franchise that took this specific approach to games that lead to this happening.

Rich? I own all the consoles plus psvr with a gun controller and two moves, so you be the judge.

I can't really justify buying a whole console for one remake though. Also I live in London so I simply don't have the square footage available to house the giant PS5.

Please dont talk about me like I'm not here. I did like bloodborne, but the frame pacing issue takes away from the experience. Think I preferred DS3 overall.

They'd probably need to finally make official osx drivers for the bonetroller and the 360 one. Other than that, no not really.

Xbox Design Lab is shutting down temporarily.

https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-design-lab-temporary-shut-down

quote:

After October 13, 2020, the Xbox Design Lab will no longer be available, and presumably won't be returning until sometime in 2021. While Microsoft doesn't provide a reason for this decision, it's likely to prepare and outfit the Xbox Design Lab with the new Xbox controller that will debut with Microsoft's next-gen consoles, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

If you want to design a controller as a holiday gift, do it sooner rather than later.
